Dolores Huerta Removed From Curriculum
The Texas State Board of Education voted to adopt new curriculum standards, which uses the state’s education system to push a conservative political agenda. Among the changes the board agreed to were resolutions adding the study of Right Wing movements to the curriculum, and pushing strongly conservative viewpoints on issues ranging from the United Nations to Social Security and Medicare benefits.
In a 6-9 vote, the Board rejected a proposal to restore labor and civil rights leader and People For the American Way board member Dolores Huerta to the elementary school curriculum. Huerta was previously taught as an example of good citizenship in third grade history classes, but was removed from the curriculum in January.
Michael B. Keegan, President of People For the American Way, issued the following statement:
“The Texas Board of Education’s decision to remove Dolores Huerta from the state’s curriculum standards, while adding divisive Right Wing figures such as Newt Gingrich and Phyllis Schlafly is an insult to the millions of Americans whose lives Huerta has improved, and detrimental to the education of children in Texas and throughout the United States.
“The state’s previous curriculum included Huerta because she has played an important role in our nation’s history. Erasing her from the curriculum not only denigrates her work; it belittles the invaluable contributions of generations of minority activists. That’s unacceptable and a disservice to Texas students.
“Dolores Huerta is a hero for all Americans who value a fair and just society and she shouldn’t be removed from our history. In her decades of work as a labor organizer and civil rights leader, she has helped millions of workers gain a voice at the bargaining table in order to earn fair wages; she has worked to ensure that people of all races and ethnicities are treated equally under the law; and she has been a role model for women in leadership.
“The removal of an important figure like Dolores Huerta from the Social Studies curriculum is emblematic of the School Board’s decision to force politics into the classroom.”

Mayra Huerta (Hispanic/Latina)
Mayra Huerta was arrested and charged in a federal human smuggling investigation after authorities found multiple migrants living at her Del Rio, Texas, property.
- The Arrest: Federal prosecutors stated that Huerta was harboring her husband, his son, and his nephew—all of whom were Mexican nationals living in the U.S. illegally.
- Deadly Smuggling Link: The home was tied to a human smuggling operation that followed a deadly incident where six migrants were found dead inside a freight train car in Laredo, Texas, with a seventh body found nearby along the tracks in Bexar County.
- Charges: Huerta was charged with harboring undocumented immigrants. She waived her detention hearing and pleaded guilty to the charges.
3 Hispanics/Latinos Steal From Home Depot
SAN ANTONIO – Three people were arrested last month at a Home Depot after allegedly stealing more than $1,000 worth of items in an organized crime scheme, according to the San Antonio Police Department. Records show they all face forgery charges.
Employees reported the incident, according to an affidavit, after a “repeat theft offender” walked out of the store with “high valued store merchandise.”
SAPD arrested 37-year-old Maria Elena Guevara in the Home Depot parking lot.
Guevara told police she came to the store with other men and had a receipt for the items in the cart. She led authorities to a truck where Rogelio Saldana, 55, and Roland Saldana, 52, were taken into custody, according to the affidavit.
Inside the truck, SAPD said it found a printer plugged into an outlet. Police said the receipt had visible typos and a stamp that read “completed APR 27 2026.”
The receipt was shown to Home Depot’s loss prevention team and confirmed to police that it was fake, citing typos and an incorrect barcode, the affidavit states.
Guevara’s purse was later searched by police where officers found more receipts with typos and barcode errors, according to the affidavit.
According to the affidavit, the value of the stolen goods was $1,051.80.
Court documents obtained by KSAT show all three individuals are facing multiple state jail felony charges.
Guevara and Roland Saldana were booked into the Bexar County Adult Detention Center on April 28, jail records show.
Roland Saldana received an organized retail theft ($750-$2,500) charge and was later released on bond the following day.
After exiting jail, a forgery and evading arrest charge was added to Roland Saldana’s list of charges. Records indicate he was booked into jail on May 14 and bonded out the next day.
Guevara faces forgery and engaging in organized criminal activity charges. She bonded out of jail on May 9.
Rogelio Saldana was booked into the Bexar County jail more than three weeks later on May 19, facing organized retail theft ($750-$2,500) and forgery charges, records show.
As of Thursday afternoon, Rogelio Saldana remains behind bars.

Joe Ceballos
Joe Ceballos, the former "mayor" of Coldwater, Kansas, turned himself in to ICE detention on May 13, 2026, following a voter fraud case. A legal permanent resident for 50 years, Ceballos believed his green card allowed him to vote, but was charged in 2025 with illegal voting.
The Incident: Ceballos pleaded guilty in April 2026 to three misdemeanor counts of disorderly election conduct instead of felonies.
Charges & Resignation: As a noncitizen, he was ineligible to vote, leading to his resignation as mayor.
Sentencing & ICE Detention: He was sentenced to a $2,000 fine and no jail time in April 2026, but was subsequently ordered to report to ICE for potential deportation.
The case highlighted scrutiny over noncitizen voting, particularly with Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach filing charges.
